Neural cell adhesion molecule 1 (NCAM1), commonly known as CD56, is a membrane-associated glycoprotein encoded by the NCAM1 gene and belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell adhesion molecules. NCAM Antibody for WB (clone NCAM1/9074R) is designed for western blot detection of NCAM1 protein and enables analysis of CD56 expression in lysates derived from cultured cells or tissues. Western blot analysis of NCAM1 is frequently used to evaluate protein expression levels, identify major NCAM isoforms, and investigate changes in cell adhesion signaling pathways.
NCAM antibody, also referred to as CD56 antibody or Neural cell adhesion molecule antibody in the literature, detects a glycoprotein that exists in multiple isoforms generated through alternative splicing. The most commonly studied NCAM1 isoforms are approximately 120 kDa, 140 kDa, and 180 kDa, which differ in their cytoplasmic domains and membrane association. In western blot experiments, NCAM proteins often appear as broad or multiple bands due to heavy glycosylation and the presence of polysialic acid modifications that influence electrophoretic mobility.
NCAM1 is widely expressed in neurons and plays a central role in neural development, axonal growth, and synaptic plasticity. Outside the nervous system, CD56 expression is detected on natural killer cells, subsets of activated T cells, and various neuroendocrine cell populations. Because NCAM1 participates in cell-cell adhesion and signaling, analysis of NCAM protein levels by western blot can provide insight into mechanisms governing cell communication, migration, and tissue organization.
In research involving cancer biology, CD56 expression has been associated with tumors that exhibit neural or neuroendocrine differentiation. Western blot analysis of NCAM1 is therefore commonly used to evaluate protein expression in cell models of neuroendocrine tumors, small cell carcinomas, and other malignancies where CD56 is expressed. Detection of NCAM isoforms by western blot can also provide information about protein processing and post-translational modification states that may influence cell adhesion and signaling functions.
NCAM Antibody for WB (clone NCAM1/9074R) provides a tool for detecting Neural cell adhesion molecule / NCAM1 protein in western blot assays. This recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody supports analysis of CD56 expression levels and isoform patterns in biological samples, enabling researchers to investigate neural adhesion mechanisms, immune cell markers, and signaling pathways associated with NCAM1 function.
1. Optimal dilution of the NCAM antibody for WB should be determined by the researcher.
2. This mAb reacts with an extracellular domain (close to transmembrane) of CD56 NCAM.
A recombinant fragment of human NCAM1/CD56 protein was used as the immunogen for the NCAM antibody.
Aliquot the NCAM antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
